Melt Blown Nonwovens with Increased Basis Weight Uniformity and Reduced Power Consumption, 1993 Nonwovens Conference Proceedings
Edward K. McNally
Providing cost effective melt blowing equipment with the capacity to produce quality, uniform webs utilizing a multitude of resins at increased production rates is the key towards the
acceptance of this technology as a profitable process for use by the nonwovens industry. Energy consumption, web properties, maintenance requirements, operational ease and equipment reliability are all important factors to consider when selecting the manufacturer of this technology. Ideal systems would be capable of producing significant increases in resin throughput while maintaining fine fiber diameters, consistent basis weight uniformity, all at a reduced level of power consumption.
